"Gypsy" is sometimes considered faintly racist. It's not a horrible slur, but it calls back to a mistake in less-enlightened times (the Romani aren't actually from Egypt). Some people are more sensitive about it than others. Most modern Romani people are actually totally okay with it and even use it in their own organization names.
